Austin Activities in the New Year - 2014


Austin Activities in the New Year - 2014

Alex was able to recruit Annette, Larry, and Ben to play with his new game, on New Year's Eve.


One activity planned for the new year was a leather project for cub scouts, for Alex. Annette and Larry brought some tools, and made a visit to the leather store, to set up a good working area.


Kaylee wanted to learn the basics, as well. So, the bought a couple of kits they could both make, while Alex practiced his skills for a more advanced project for scouts.


Here was the Coin Purse from the kit that Alex made. Very nice.


Here, Alex shared his coin purse project with Grandma. She told him about making one like that when she was about his age, as well. She told him he did a very nice job!


With help from Annette, Kaylee was able to finish her kit coin purse, as well.


Annette was nice enough to share this photo. She posted on Facebook that our family still enjoys books both in print and electronically. Here, I was enjoying the "Presidents" book that Alex had received for Christmas. Very Good Stuff! Nancy was reading her iPad.


Didn't take a lot of photos this extended trip, but spent a lot of time doing things with everyone. Arrion finished off the extended holiday by starting to put away the decorations from the Christmas tree. I thought that an "event" worthy of a photo. Nice way to end this, and get on with the year!


Happy New Year to one and all! ;-)
